  • The season 46 premiere of “Saturday Night Live” included a sketch about giving Drew Barrymore, played by Chloe Fineman, her own talk show following the controversy surrounding “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” 
  • “After seeing what went down with Ellen, we took a hard turn in the other direction,” the narrator says in the sketch. 
  • Fineman’s Barrymore continues to describe herself as a “boho free spirit mommy mother movie star.” 
  • The sketch makes direct references to allegations that DeGeneres doesn’t allow staffers to make eye contact with her and fosters a toxic work environment, saying that the new host “maintains eye contact too long and is too emotionally supportive.”
